Microsoft just rolled out an exciting new open-source document database platform that’s built on PostgreSQL, and they’ve teamed up with FerretDB for a user-friendly front-end interface. This new setup comes packed with two handy PostgreSQL extensions: pg_documentdb_core, which optimizes BSON for better performance, and pg_documentdb_api that makes data operations smooth and efficient.
In a recent chat, FerretDB’s CEO, Peter Farkas, shared some great news about their integration with Microsoft’s DocumentDB extension. He mentioned that they’ve seen a whopping twentyfold boost in performance for specific workloads with FerretDB 2.0! That’s a game-changer for developers looking for speed and efficiency.
And the cherry on top? This platform is totally free to use—there are no commercial licensing fees or usage restrictions, thanks to its MIT license. So, whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, this could be a fantastic tool to have in your toolkit!
